Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com Virus - How to remove

Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com is one of the most recent rogue search engines released by the queen of rogueware – Imali Media. This company has already developed the very similar fake search engine – Search.funmovietabsearch.com – which is also movie themed. It has delivered a whole bunch of such applications and does not seem to stop, at least in the near future. We will promise to present you with each one of them. But for now, let’s have a quick overview of Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com browser hijacker.

About Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com Browser Hijacker

Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com application belongs to the fiercest category of PUPs – potentially unwanted programs. It is the category of browser hijackers. The kind of cyber intruder we are telling you about rips your default homepage, search engine and a new tab page off. Instead, Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com is made your default main page and search provider. The latter URL, which is supposed to render you search results, redirects you to search.yahoo.com in a new tab page. This occurs because Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com extension exploits Yahoo! Search for its malevolent acts.

Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com add-on does not have a feature of search rendering embedded in. It takes the search results rendered by Yahoo and adds 3rd party advertising sites to them. Additionally, advertisements of 3rd party are planted in the authentic websites by the latter legitimate search engine. And we can assure you that now beautiful plants will grow out of them. These 3rd party adverts are merely online scams, which themselves can be poisonous and/ or they can reroute you to virulent domains. Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com plug-in needs to make them as appealing as it is possible, since it earns income for its developers through clicks. Thus, it employs data tracking technologies to have the idea of what you would like to be rendered with and pass this valuable piece of information on to the 3rd party of online scammers. These tricks performed by Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com can end up in a disaster, if some spyware, for instance, trespassed on your machine. It can be a very much like case, if an aneurysm ruptured into your head.

How does Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com Browser Hijacker Infiltrate Your Computer?

Search.thecoolestmoviesearch.com hijacker can appear on your computer’s system in a number of ways. This infection can ensue from visiting malicious or questionable sites such as torrents, free gaming or gambling sites, clicking on advertisements present on social media sites, etc. It can also be the extra software which is installed on your computer along with the actual software you download and install, no matter the source of it. This refers to the installation of free software, which is bundled with PUPs to remain toll-free. In each case of freeware setup, the user must perform the procedure in the Advanced (Custom) settings to unbundle the pre-bundled installer from any unwanted programs.
